Sani-tuff board questions

I got one because I figured it maybe best for anything that need sanitizing and used it for the first time on this:

few things I noticed. I used a 8" chefs knife and I suspect it wasn't enough. I noticed after I finished carving that the board had few knife lines. Obviously it was me, but I sorta expect it to be more spongy and if there would be a cut to kinda hide it?

Is this how it is usually or is is simply my mistake of poor cutting>?

Also, whats the best way to sanitize it? 1/2 way 1/2 bleach solution or something else?

The sucker is very heavy, like 15+lbs ( have a 20 x 15 x 1) and it does not fit in either of my sinks. I got it cleaned but took way more time & effort than I wanted.

I have a Sani Tuff board in the same size. U can sand off the cut marks if and when u need to. Yes they are heavy in that size. I just use soap and water on mine, however it fits in my sink.
As far as making those cut marks, I learned to keep my knives sharper and use a lighter technique on them so they are not as deep. You will still get the cut marks no matter what u do.

clorox recommends 1 tbsp per gallon of water ,, i think that is too dilute a 10% solution [1 oz bleach to 9 oz water] is the basic recommneded surface disinfection ratio. 50% is too sptromg and i suspect it will leave an odor on your board

Ah, sounds good. I think 10% is a good ratio. I washed it with soap and water and figured after maybe spraying with the solution and then do the final rinse. I don't mind the cutting marks and like you said, they can be sanded off, just was surprised how easy it was to do it
